European Public Affairs Consultancies Association

The European Public Affairs Consultancies' Association (EPACA) is a representative trade association for professional public affairs consultancies active in the EU marketplace. It currently consists of 42 companies with over 600 staff, and represents a significant proportion of the professional PA services providers in the EU market place. All EPACA members have signed the EPACA code of conduct. Our work as public affairs professionals contributes to a healthy democratic process, acting as a link between the world of business and civil society and European policy-makers. The signatories to the code are all committed to abide by it, acting in an honest, responsible and courteous manner at all times and seeking to apply the highest professional standards. EPACA has established formal self-regulatory arrangements, including a professional practices panel for disciplinary hearings.
